SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON QUARTERLY
29 "
American Revised Version of Lesson Scripture
17 Fools because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of food ;
And they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
And He saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sendeth His word, and healeth them,
And delivereth them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for His loving-kindness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of menl
22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare His works with singing.
23 They that go down to the sea in ships,
That do business in great waters;
24 These see the works of Jehovah,
And His wonders in the deep.
25 For He commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves thereof.
26 They mount up to the heavens,-.
They go down again to the depths:
Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits' end.
28 Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
And He bringeth them out of their distresses.
29 He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
30 Then are they glad because they are quiet;
So He bringeth them unto their desired haven.
31 Oh that men would praise Jehovah for His loving-kindness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men !
32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the seat of the elders.
